Students complete a chromatography experiment, For this chromatography lesson, students complete an experiment similar to one that was to be carried out on the Challenger that exploded. They examine ink spots as the wick on filter paper....

Students experiment to explore chromatography and its uses.

Students study about chromatography, a process used to separate mixtures.

In this chromatography worksheet, students are given markers, filter paper and a solvent to separate the pigments found in each marker. Students create a chromatogram for each marker.

Young scholars gain experience in asking questions and conducting inquiry by exploring the separation of colors in water and other solvents; to communicate and share findings of student investigations.

Students learn the importance of caring for eggs as they hatch chickens. In this egg hatching lesson, students observe what happens when eggs are hatched into chickens by completing a e-worksheet and watching a web based movie.

Students isolate and identify a dye, which represents a synthetic pesticide, from plants.

Learners gain experience in asking questions and conducting inquiry by exploring the separation of colors in water and other solvents; to communicate and share findings of student investigations.

Many substances are actually mixtures of different things. For example, milk, which looks like it is one substance, is actually a mixture of many different solids and liquids. Chromatography is a technique that is used to separate...

To increase students' awareness of possible invisible pollutants in drinking water sources, students perform an exciting lab requiring them to think about how solutions and mixtures exist even in unsuspecting places such as ink. They use...

Chromatography is a method used to separate mixtures of compounds and to identify each compound in the mixture. You may have separated the different inks in a black marker by using a strip of paper and water. There are many different...

This project will teach you the basics of analytical chemistry, which is a must for students who want to go into chemistry or materials science. The molecules in objects we see all around us are constantly attracting each other....

Hunkin's Experiments is a group of simple cartoon illustrations of scientific principles. Some would work well in the classroom, but others have little value beyond entertaining students. All of the projects are easy to do. This one is a...

A lab activity that introduces chromatography using markers, plus water and acetone as the solvents. Students will take measurements to compare the mobile and stationary phases of the inks, and find the polarity of the inks and solvents....

Observe the separation of colors derived from black marker ink by wicking water through a marker line on a paper towel.

This photo shows a completed chromatography chemistry experiment. The colors have clearly separated from each other along the piece of paper. The original black ink was separated using an ethanol and water mixture solvent.

In this lesson, students will make a chromatogram of different types of ink. Paper chromatography will be used to detect the different dyes used in the ink. This lesson can be used for both Physical Science and Chemistry classes.
